The Matriarchy of Propitheca is a small, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, ban on automobiles, and restrictive gun laws. The cynical, devout population of 45 million Propithecans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Law & Order, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 45.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Propithecan economy, worth 1.53 trillion marillas a year, is led by the Pizza Delivery industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 34,019 marillas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Maximum security fish farms leave caged salmon pining for the fjords, grocery stores can be audibly identified by the giggling emerging from them, the government has declared "all your rigs are belong to us", and Propitheca is notorious for its citizens' infidelity. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Propitheca's national animal is the bat, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Propitheca is ranked 149,664^th in the world and 8^th in Lemuria for Highest Food Quality, scoring 16.98 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
